OOT scoreboard 2025 playoff edition

[Bleedred]

I really hate how guys like Crawford and Darcy Kuemper get shit for a guy like Adin Hill winning the Cup. He's the ultimate team defense winning a Cup goalie.

Can't believe we also had to deal with people saying the same shit to Marty for all those years.

He’s the biggest JAG cup winning goalie possibly of all time.

Cam Ward was JAG. He was really good for a stretch between 2008-2012 and fell off the face of the earth at age 28. He also wasn’t very good prior to 2008 with the exception of that playoff run.

But he did win the Conn Smythe in his cup year.

Niemi was JAG, but had some borderline Vezina candidate seasons (borderline Vezina candidate, not borderline Vezina winning seasons) after that.

Adin Hill was a goalie who got lucky getting acquired by Vegas after a year with the bottom feeding Sharks. He also got even luckier when Logan Thompson was sidelined with one of his usual injuries and he got to run with it.

Now I do think we could see more JAG goalies like him win the cup. If the Avs won with Blackwood this year that would be another example. So Adin Hill may not go down as the biggest nobody cup winner. Him and Khudobin are definitely the biggest rando cup finals starting goalies in quite a while, with him being the lone rando cup winner. Kuemper was borderline rando and had a weak playoffs in his cup winning year, but he was consistently good for a handful of years prior and outside of a poor season last year he’s continued to be solid.

Matt Murray looks like a rando now, but he had the hottest start to his NHL career of any goalie since Patrick Roy or Marty. He got got injured too much and was crippled at a young age. He’s still only 30 years old, despite it feeling like a long time ago since the back to back “Rookie” cup wins.

Binnington is pretty JAG too, but has a chance at more relevance to his career with a gold medal as starter for Canada next year.

I would give up junk food if it meant the Devils had the Capitals finishing

Niemi probably yeah all time but the 2010 Hawks are also the greatest team I think I've ever seen or we'll ever see in the cap era. They had guys like Ladd and Big Buff as third liners, won with Niemi in net. Just crazy roster construction

The ways they score all season is wild lmao

 

[Bleedred]

Still not buying the Capitals as a serious contender.

That McMichael goal was ridiculous. Stopped on a wraparound and puts the rebound off a Habs leg in front of the net and it bounces in.

My wife said Leah Hextall and Emily Kaplan feel like a Saturday Night Live skit... I kinda laughed.

But then she said Hextall voice is doing ASMR and I didn't get it

 

[JimEIV]

Washington is not good.

 

[Bleedred]

Washington is not good.

Maybe good

Definitely not great.

I don't know...Montreal is with them every step and Montreal sucks.

Washington is not good.

This will be parroted here as they're probably walking into the ECF, the cope is real with them

 

[Desert Devil]

Ken Campbell is a complete idiot but he’s not wrong here. Excessive.

 

[Clam Jensen]

McDonough trying to compare Thompson and Lindgren is comical.

 

[Dylan9z9]

Is Timo playing for the Canadiens?

 

[NjDevsRR]

Massive hit on Bischel in the corner and then Bischel takes a puck to the nuts five seconds later lol

Was standing next to Kaplan at the 4 Nations final. She's like 3 feet tall. You could put her in your pocket.

I’m playing in that game for the Avs?

I just woke up and read this.. Imagine Butthead laughing.

 

[Bleedred]

Why is Skinner starting again? These Oilers people still don’t know what they’re doing.

He belongs on the Sharks.

 

[Oneiro]

Kopitar is a beauty. Great pass.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Looks like this will be the 5th series where it’s 2-0

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

McDavid is soooooo walking out of EDM in a few years

I’m anxiously awaiting the 5 year $25 million dollar extension for Skinner. Like Blackwood, Daccord and Lankinen all recently got. That should be the final nail in the Oilers cap.

“He got us to the Stanley Cup Finals only a little over a year ago. He’s shown excellent ability to be that guy!”. The idiots in Edmonton would probably say being able to get him at $5 for 5 is a steal because none of those guys had even been to the cup finals before their deals were signed and he has lol.

Speaking of Stanley Cup Finals, how could I forget him when listing JAG goalies in my post earlier? He’s even worse than Khudobin and at least Khudobin had a good playoffs the year he went to the SCF. Skinner did NOT.

Skinner may go down as one of the worst starting goalies to get to the cup finals in the history in the league. Possibly after Leighton. Who didn’t even play that entire playoffs for the Flyers. Skinner did.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Goddamn beautiful play to win it by Stars. Rantanen with a manly play in Dzone, incredible play and pass by Marchmant to Seguin for the goal

I like this Stars team a lot

 

[Bleedred]

I’m pretty surprised by the Stars being up 2-1 in this series.

Rantanen was a machine tonight. There was one point in this game where Rantanen had 4 shots on goal and no other Stars forward had more than 2 and quite a few of them had 0. Hintz wound up also finishing with 5.

The biggest detriment to them will be Ceci. If Oettinger can get on a role they can do some damage.
